Strange problems with Galaxy r

Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.

I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.

I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Are you sure i should do it using v1.87?
I'm having problems finding it and v1.85 seems to be in everyones links.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?

S6 reboots when locked

Hey guys and girls. New guy hehe.
I have a HUGE problem. Everytime i lock my phone or it locks itself, it turns off or reboots.
Anyone else heard of this before?
I've wiped, hard reset, everything Googling has suggested to no avail.

As far as I can tell it is not. It happens on fresh installs as well as backups :/

I think I finally got rid of the problem by restoring from an old backup through Switch.
Been 30 mins and no reboot yet.
Will come back after work with results from the day.
Update: back to rebooting.
Doesn't happen when an app is playing music/radio (Spotify etc)
Is there any way to get back to 100% stock?
Had to use twr to get out of bootlooping.
Or a link to get a working custom rom.
SMG920K is my model. Swedish version.

Echoe Rom Calling Issue

Hello all. Since this is a new account I guess I cannot post under the development page. So my question is this (sorry if this has been asked before I search as much as I could). I installed this Echoe Rom about four days ago and works great but when someone tries to call me I recieve nothing, sometimes a Voice-mail but doesn't ring or get a notification. Rebooted and no go. I thought it was an issue with the cache/Davilk so I wiped and rebooted but still nothing. So I researched and some android users (pm another site) said you have to switch between Auto/LTE/4g and 3g/2g and back again....finally worked. But every time it reboots I have to do this and it's rather annoying because I get a random reboot everyday. If anyone knows a work around for this would greatly appreciate it because after a day of trying to fix it I'm stumped lol. Thx

I has this issue ... what fixed it for me was just making a backup with TitaniumBackup and doing a clean install of stock firmware, re-rooting and and flashing the rom and then wiping data in the Aroma installer... doing this gave me zero issues .

Do you have Lspeed installed by any chance? If so do you have improve call quality enabled? Disabling this fixed the issue for me so anyone who has this problem and enabled it, disable it and see if it fixes the problem.

Random reboots after Nougat update.

Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.

Have the same problem, I'm on G935FXXU1DQB1.

It is still binding Once I had this problem while I was on call!

I have a thread about this, it was unusual for me too, theese random reboots.
After the third reinstall, (first one everyday rebooting, second one reinstall marshmallow, upgrade to nougat, happened the same reboots, I made again a factory reset and now no reboots and way better battery life) everything is ok for now.

Thank you for your reply I received the update in OTA. To reinstall I have to go through Odin? I can not simply reinstall the current firmware (Nougat) via Smart Swith for PC?

I have the same issue guys even if did an hard reset after nougat update. I experienced some reboots after the update (1 March) but very often in these last days. I enabled the pin code for the sim in this way we can see if it happens when don't "monitor" the phone.

I was getting random reboots at one point due to a kernel panic (something to do with Samsung's zswap implementation). It hasn't been happening for a while though. I think they probably fixed it in newer versions. I'm on DQCF currently.

I think this is a software bug. Hopefully Samsung will quickly realize and deploy a corrective update. For my part, I reported this problem by sending an error report via the application "Samsung Members".

I'm on DQBO, this may be why I still have this problem. Did you directly receive Android Nougant in DQCF or was it a patch update?

This may be a software bug. What is your firmware version?

build NRD90M G930FXXU1DQB7 is the latest rom
with the latest samsung security update
meanwhile I left root aside, as I noted a strange thing while working under twrp that being 'unable to mount' /data map
problem occurs after filling up the memory (yes a 32gb version) and making more and more apps working (under root)
so, considering the above, might it be a physical ram problem ?
reading searching the net I noticed that many people are having this problem

No, I do not think that's what caused the problem. If the problem appeared after the Andoid Nougat update, it is that it is a software bug. I have a Galaxy S7 duos (SM-G930FD) me too and my firmware version is the G930FXXU1DQBO and I also have a problem of random restarts that persists even after a factory reset. Apperently the latest firmwares do not have this problem. It is necessary to wait for the next corrective update. Otherwise, what is the frequency of the random reboots of your phone? My phone is once a week.

there is no linearity ... can happen once a day, a week or several times in one day
sometimes it completely gets stuck and I have to wait for the battery to fully discharge before being able to reboot to a working phone ...

Have you tried restarting your phone in secure mode to see if the problem is from an application that you have installed?

Same here, I though that was Fleksy that sometimes load the phone and I had to shut it down manually (Power button + volume - for 7 sec) for a restart. Sometimes it restart itself.
Very frustrating, I'm on G930FXXU1DQB1 (German model), and when i search for update it says "up to date : DQB3 / DQA8 / DQB1."
Irritating as well !

N920c Keeps rebooting even after WholeFormat/new rom Dr Ketan Rom everything....

Hello everyone,
I tried to check in other threads and in forums in general but couldnt find a problem similar to mine , because all of them were fixed by Wiping/Formatting or installing a new Rom.
So the phone was ok stock 7.0 t'ill it started rebooting and stucking sometimes with no way to get out if it,if not resetting to Download mode. I wiped the cach and all and it seemed to work for a feew days, now its every time, i Flashed TWRP as a recovery, Wiped formatted vereything from the phone and did a fresh install o Dr Ketan Rom (even so it wasnt easy due to device random reboots).
Now the issue is still there, what have i missed? Is it a Hardware problem?
Thanks in advance .

You're asking for help in the wrong place.. This thread is for the N920V and not the N920C.. You're better off asking in that thread for help seeing as the N920V doesn't even have TWRP..

It's cool happens a lot.. The problem is us Verizon users don't really have much experience with the TWRP on this device so it's just best to ask where, they've probably had the problem before!! I hope you figure it out bro!
